“…Srivastava et al (2010) observed that irrigation efficiency can be increased up to 95% by replacing the irrigation method from conventional (border or furrow) to pressurized irrigation. Micro-irrigation has wide adaptability in semi-arid and arid regions where water supply remains limited (Cetin et al, 2004;Singh et al, 2001Singh et al, , 2007. However, a regular water supply is a prerequisite to get maximum benefit from a micro-irrigation system.…”

Inadequate water supply in a canal command area is a major limiting factor for sustainable crop production, as well as for adoption of crop diversification options. Shifting from conventional (surface) irrigation to micro-irrigation in conjunction with an auxiliary reservoir is a possible alternative for managing irrigation water shortages. The auxiliary reservoir provides a reliable water supply for the micro-irrigation system during the period when the canal system is not operational. To study the techno-economic feasibility of a proposed technological package, an auxiliary reservoir of 1500 m 3 capacity was constructed at the Research Farm of Central Institute of Post Harvest Engineering and Technology, Abohar, India, which received a canal supply from an outlet of the Panjawa minor of the Abohar distributory of the Sirhind canal system. Drip irrigation was used to irrigate kinnow (Citrus reticulata Blanco.), guava (Psidium guajava L.), pomegranate (Punica granatum L.), tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum L.) and capsicum (Capsicum annuum L.). Drip and micro-sprinkler both were used for potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) and onion (Allium cepa L.). These crops were also grown with surface irrigation methods (border or furrow depending upon the crop) as control. Results of the study indicated that the interventions were able to save a substantial amount of irrigation water (3-46%) compared to surface methods, along with higher yields, a doubling of water productivity and more profits per mm of irrigation water. The study clearly showed that micro-irrigation in conjunction with an auxiliary reservoir should be recommended in canal-irrigated commands in order to improve water productivity and farmers' income in arid regions of Punjab. RÉSUMÉ L'insuffisance de l'approvisionnement en eau d'un canal est un facteur limitant majeur pour la durabilité de la production agricole, ainsi que pour l'adoption des options de diversification des cultures. Le passage de l'irrigation conventionnelle à la micro-irrigation associée à un réservoir auxiliaire est une alternative possible pour gérer les pénuries d'eau d'irrigation. Le réservoir auxiliaire fournit un approvisionnement fiable en eau pour le système de micro-irrigation pendant la période où le système du canal n'est pas opérationnel. Pour étudier la faisabilité technico-économique du paquet technologique, un réservoir auxiliaire d'une capacité de 1500 m 3 a été construit à la ferme de recherche de l'Institut central de l'ingénierie et de la technologie post-récolte, à Abohar, en Inde, qui reçoit l'eau de la prise de Panjawa mineure, sur le système de canaux de Sirhind. L'irrigation goutte à goutte a été utilisée pour irriguer du Kinnow (Citrus reticulata Blanco.), du goyavier (Psidium guajava L.), du grenadier (Punica granatum L.), de la tomate (Lycopersicum esculentum L.) et du poivron (Capsicum annuum L.). Le goutte à goutte et la micro aspersion ont été utilisés à la fois pour la pomme de terre (Solanum tuberosum L.) et l'oignon (Allium cepa L.). Ces cultures ont égal...

“…The key component of the competitive, innovative, and sustainable rural development is the availability of democratic and powerful organizations, especially in developing countries, including Turkey (6,7,8). In our opinion, unless the small ruminant organizations have a high rate of democratic participation, input supply, and marketing, which are the most important financial problems of breeders in Turkey, these issues cannot be properly solved.…”

Summary: Livestock Producers Organizations have played an important role in sustainable production and rural development. There is a strong relationship between breeders' socio-economics status, membership relations, and organizational success levels. A survey was conducted in the Hatay province in Turkey with 38 small ruminant breeders to investigate organizational responsibilities and satisfaction levels, and to analyze the relationship between their socio-economic status with responsibility and satisfaction. The membership of breeders in any professional organization was found to be 68%, and the most important factor affecting participation in their organizations was bureaucratic reasons. "Basic", "Extended", and "Total" responsibilities of the small ruminant breeders were found to be 16%, 24%, and 20%, respectively, and satisfaction levels were "very dissatisfied", "dissatisfied" and "very dissatisfied", respectively. A positive correlation was found between the total responsibility score and membership period (p<0.05), and a negative correlation was found between total satisfaction score and herd size (p<0.01). Education level, the most important factor affecting breeders' responsibility, was related to four of the six responsibility components (p<0.01); whereas herd size, the most important factor affecting breeders' satisfaction, was related to three of the eight satisfaction components (p<0.05). These results indicated that training programs must be arranged to change the attitudes of small ruminant breeders and also management activities of the organization should be closely followed by the breeders to minimize or to prevent some of the management errors and failures.Key words: Breeder, organization, responsibility, satisfaction, small ruminant. Küçükbaş hayvan yetiştiricilerinin üyelik ilişkileri ve örgütsel etkinliklerinin sosyo-ekonomik bir analiziÖzet: Hayvancılık sektöründeki üretici örgütleri sürdürülebilir üretim ve kırsal kalkınmada önemli bir rol oynamaktadır.Yetiştiricilerin sosyo-ekonomik statüleri ile üyelik ilişkileri ve örgütsel başarı düzeyleri arasında güçlü bir ilişki bulunmaktadır. Örgütsel sorumluluk ve memnuniyet düzeyinin araştırılması ve sosyo-ekonomik statü ile sorumluluk ve memnuniyet düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkinin analizi amacıyla Hatay ilinde 38 küçükbaş hayvan yetiştiricisi ile anket çalışması yürütülmüştür. Herhangi bir örgüte üye olanların oranı %68 olarak bulunmuş, örgüte katılımı belirleyen en önemli faktörün bürokratik nedenler olduğu belirlenmiştir. "Temel", "Genişletilmiş" ve "Toplam" sorumluluk ve memnuniyet düzeyleri sırasıyla %16, %24 ve %20; "hiç memnun değilim", "memnun değilim" ve "hiç memnun değilim" olarak tespit edilmiştir. Toplam sorumluluk skoru ve üyelik süresi arasında pozitif bir korelasyon (p<0.05), toplam memnuniyet skoru ve sürü büyüklüğü arasında ise negatif bir korelasyon (p<0.01) bulunmuştur. Yetiştiricilerin sorumluluğunu etkileyen en önemli faktör olan eğitim düzeyi altı sorumluluk bileşeninin dördü ile ilişkiliyken (p<0.01); memnuniyeti etkileyen ...

Turkey's some region has a vast open land. Therefore, it has great potential of using solar and wind energy sources for domestic and industrial use. This research is going to propose and assess about the wind power cost per kWh of electricity produced using three types of wind electric conversion systems at 14 locations in Turkey. Wind during curves were developed and utilized to calculate the cost per kWh of electricity generated from three chosen wind turbines. According to the research findings, Bozcaada is the most advantageous station from the point of view of economical and production of wind power.
